The Communist Party of China does not like golf since it is seen as decadent and tied to all sorts of bad stuff like taking of land illegally, corruption in general. Members of the CPC are not allowed to play, it is the sport of the nouveau very rich. My Chinese brother-in-law loves golf but doing it in China is incredibly expensive (he is not very rich, but retired at 42 because he figured he had made enough money to last). He and his golf friends have taken to flying to SE Asia or Australia for a week or so to play. Not sure why Trump wanted to meet Xi at a golf resort? Is it meant to be a subtle insult?

It's Trump's constant need for approval. If someone isn't telling him he's the best, he feels left out. He needs to be the center of attention at all times. Paying attention to Lil' Kim? "LOOK AT ME! I'M GONNA BLOW HIS ASS UP!" Pay attention to what Trump just said.... "I didn't mean that the way it sounded, I was joking, you all know that, but look! I have a penis!....Isn't it great!?"

Well, it worked pretty well on Kim Kardashian as a trial subject. They are going to need a lot more spray foam for Kim Jong Un's ass.

So the Tangerine Man now thinks golfing in NJ is saving the country money. He's so frugal. How about he just stay and work at the WhiteHouse. Man vacations like he's retired.

Trump rationalized his trip to Bedminster in a way similar to how he’s defended other weekend trips to his own properties: by pointing to the even more extravagant costs he could be accruing if he’d stayed elsewhere. “I love New York,” he said, “but going back is very expensive for the country because they close up Fifth Avenue and they close up 56th Street.” On the other hand, he said, when he travels to New Jersey, “I have a place there that costs almost nothing because it’s hundreds of acres and security and they don’t have to close up streets.”
